Important question regarding ferris wheels...

Which one of these looks the coolest?I can't decide which one to put there next in my little 2x3 space.... For the avoidance of doubt, I don't care about the outputs of each. I second the Arcane.
I kept mine for a long time after it expired purely because I liked the look of it.
Galores I sell as soon as they're finished.

So far it's unanimous. Arcane Ferris Wheel for me too.Galores I sell as soon as they're finished.You're more conscientious than I @Jake65. I disenchant the little perishers before they get placed.

I tend to agree, though I couldn't decide if I am liking the arcane ferris wheel purely for the novelty because it is less common.Pauly7

We have room for the OG, of course, as that one faces the other way...I like them both, I don't know which one is the Arcane one (how do you all know that?...lol) but I see you have placed the bottom one, so I'm guessing it's that one.
That aside, I would love to see a fuller picture of your city, it looks really interesting.

I don't know which one is the Arcane one (how do you all know that?...lol) but I see you have placed the bottom one, so I'm guessing it's that one.Yes that one is Arcane. That was there anyway, but thinking of doing the old switcheroo with Ferris Wheel Galore.
That aside, I would love to see a fuller picture of your city, it looks really interesting.By all means. Panning back...
hmmm, the arcane looks really good, but the blue on the galore is a really nice blue. It's a tricky one. Sorry, I'm not much help, I would have to do an 'Ip Dip, Sky blue, who's it, not you' and place the winner.
p.s I love the way you have all the pheonix' down one side and your bear family and their pets (in my world) down the other side. I was looking for the Tinlug or don't you have that one?

Yes, I have every evolving building in the game in my city. They are kind of all around the outside... Well, they are getting two rows deep now!

- Background: The Ferris wheel was born in the late 19th century and was first designed by American George Washington Gale Ferris for the Chicago Expo in . At that time, it was to compete with the Eiffel Tower built in Paris at the Expo.
- Early influence: The first Ferris wheel weighed 2,200 tons, could carry 2,160 people, and was as high as a 26-story building. The Ferris wheel was a blockbuster as soon as it appeared, attracting a large number of tourists and making George Ferris famous. Since then, people have called this facility the “Ferris Wheel”.
Design and structure
- Classification: According to its structural characteristics, the Ferris wheel can be divided into three types: gravity Ferris wheel, spokeless Ferris wheel and observation Ferris wheel. The cabins of gravity-type Ferris wheels are hung on the wheel, and gravity keeps the sliding axis horizontal; while the cabins on the observation Ferris wheel are suspended outside the wheel, requiring a more complex connecting rod-type mechanical structure to maintain the horizontality.
- Working principle: The working principle of the Ferris wheel is based on gravity, friction, rotational inertia and driving force. Gravity keeps the passenger cabins in the correct position of the spokes, friction prevents them from sliding, rotational inertia keeps the wheel rotating, and the driving force is usually provided by an electric motor.
